York, Oct. 15, 1838. (From the Edinburgh Review.) Charles James Fox was one of the greatest statesmen, and if not the greatest orator, certainly the most accom plished debater, that ever appeared upon the theatre of public affairs in any age of the world. To the profuse, the various learning of his master—to his exuberant fancy, to his profound and mature philosophy, he bad no pre tensions. His knowledge was confined to the ordinary accomplishments of an English education--intimate ac quaintance with the classics ; the exquisite taste which that familiarity bestows ; and a sufficient knowledge of history. These stores he afterwards increased rather than diminished ; for he continued to delight in classical read ing, and added a minute and profound knowledge of modern language, with a deep and accurate study of our own history, and the history of other modern States ; insomuch, that it may be questioned, if any po litician in any age ever knew so thoroughly the various in terests, and the exact position of all the countries with which his own had dealings to conduct, or relations to maintain. Beyond these,soliffoundations of oratory, and ample stores of political information, his range did not extend. Of na tural science, of metaphysical philosophy, of political eco nomy, he had not even the rudiments ; and he was apt to treat those matters with the neglect, if not the contempt, which ignorance can rather account for than excuse.

TESTIMONIAL from HENRY HETHERINGTON, Book seller, 126, Strand, selected from many thousands forwarded te Messrs. Hannay and Co., 63, Oxford-street, wholesale agents :-. No. 126, Strand, Sept. 24, 10138. To the Proprietor of the Poor Man's Pill. Sir,-Having considered your proposition that I should become The agent for this district for the sale of the Poor Man's Pill, I beg leave to state that lam willing to accept of the agency. It is necessary, however, that I should candidly and explicitly avow my sentiments en this subject. I feel disinclined, and consider it Nast to recommend others to take a medicine that I am not pre pared to take myself, and I strongly deprecate puffing Patent Medi- eines into notice as specifics for all sorts of complaints. I thought it I tY duty to make myself experimentally acquainted with the virtues 4 ' the Poor Man's Pills before I consented te sell them. This will account for the delay in answering your application. I believe, L e nerally speaking, the less medicine a person takes the better. i'lh!'s• who enjoy tolerable health, however, sometimes require a iittle opening medicine, and as it is well known that headaches and man? other • inconveniences result from costiveness, there always will be Popular „ medicines in general use, to obviate the necessity and PT-nem° 4fapplying to a doctor. Having adopted the Poor Alan's p't II mily, I can unhesitatingly a ffi rm that I have found , gentle and efficacious aperient, which, when taken, will a ff ord immediate relief ; those who unfortunately are afflicted with mere Et a o a r l omplaints, will doubtless speak of• the Poor Alan's Pill s Pecifically ; but I can very sincerely bear testimony to their e leell excellence as the cheapest and most useful aperient. Under these circumstances I am induced te recommend their universal adoption and •. Use in families, as the most valuable of domestic medicines. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, H. HETHERINGTON. Te meetthe circumstances of all classes, they are sold in box, at b el 'enpence-halfpenny and Thi r t een p enc e-halfpenny. Also family • l ▪ a% suited for voyages by sea and long journeys by land, Two hilhn and N inepence each. Th e y are warrante d not to b e °sected by age or climate.

MINERAL SUCCEDANEUM FOR FILLING DECAYED TEETH, LOOSE TEETH FASTENED, AND LOSS OF TEETH SUPPLIED. Monsieur MALLAN Surgeon Dentist, 9, Half Moon-street. Piccadilly, continues to restore DECAYED TEETH with his MINERAL SUC. CEDANEUM, (of which he is the Sole IN VENTOIt and P:!SSES SOR), without pain, heat, or pressure, and FASTENS LOOSE TEETH, whether arising from age, neglect, disease of the Gums, the use of Calomel, or any other cause. He has also discovered a NEW COM POSI I lON for ARTIFICIAL TEETH. A peculiar advantage attending Teeth made from this SUBSTANCE is, that they are totally imper vious to acids. ARTIFICIAL TEETH have hitherto been found objectionable by INVALIDS taking MEDICINES which habits . e havaMons. ten_ dency to DISCOLOUR them , and by persons of bilious M has been successful in obviating these objections by his NEW DIS COVERY, and he can fix the above without extracting the STUMPS, or causing ally incunabrance, and even on GUMS of the most tender u Ito re, p•oteefing the adjoining Teeth, however loqse.

POPULAR DEMONSTRATIONs.—cc Those are ter- rible conjunctures, when the discontents of a nation —not lightbeen and capricious discontents, but discontents which have ._ steadily increasing during a long series of years—have attained their full maturity. The discerning few predict the of these conjunctures, but predict in vain. To the many/ the evil season comes as a total eclipse of the sun at noon comes to a people of savages. Society which, but a short time be-. fore, was in a state of perfect repose, is on a sudden agitat ed with the most fearful convulsions, and seems to be on the verge of dissolution ; and the rulers who, till the mischief was be yond the reach of all ordinary remedies, had never bestowed approach one thought on its existence, stand bewildered and panic stricken, without hope or resource, in the midst of the confu sion. On e suc h conjuncture this generation has seen. God grant that w e may never see another ! At such a conjuctu re it was that Tem_pl e l an d e d on English ground, of 1679.",—5: W. Landon in the beginning There never was a greater mistake than the fancying a close resemblance between his eloquence and that of De mosthenes ; although an excellent judge (Sir James Mac kintosh) fell into it, when he pronounced him " the most Demosthenean speaker since Demosthenes." The practice of composition seems never to have been familiar to Mr. Fox. His speeches show this ; perhaps his writings still more so ; because there the animation of the momentary excitement which often carried him on in speaking, had little or no play. Yet, when writing letters without any effort, no one expressed himself more happily or with more graceful facility ; and in conversation, of which he only partook when the society was small and intimate, he was a model of every excellence, whether solid or gay, plain or refined—full of information, witty and playful betimes, never ill-natured for a moment— above all, never afraid of an argument, as so many eminent men are wont to be ; but, on the contrary, courting dis cussion on all subjects, perhaps without much regard to their relative importance ; as if reasoning were his natural element, in which his great faculties moved the more freely. To this may b e added his playful good nature ; which par took, as Mr. Gibbon observed, of the simplicity of a child— making him little fastidious and easily interested and amused. Having premised all these qualifications, we must now add, that Mr. Fox's eloquence was of a kind which, to comprehend, you must have heard himself. When he got fairly into his subject, was heartily warmed with it, he' poured forth words and periods of fire that smote you, and deprived you of all power to reflect and rescue yourself, while he went on to seize the faculties of the listener, and h y o them a captive m i su eh alon g more argumentativewt to h doubtim w that hi th ei speakerir e s o w e a v e s r a he tfahi.a pleased o se to rush, r It r nn De mosthenes ; as much more so as D emost h enes wou ld per haps have ben than Fox b a d h e li ve d i n our t i mes, an d h a d to addre ss an E ngl i sh House of Commons. In mo s t o f t h e external qualities of oratory Mr. Fox was y deficient, b e i ng o f an unw i e ld y person, w i t h out any grace of a c ti on , w i t h a vo i ce o f li tt l e compass, and which, when p resse d i n t h e ve h emence of h i s speech, became shrill almost t o a cry or squea k ; yet a ll t hi s was a b solutely for gotten in the moment when the to rren t b egan to pour. Some of the und er t ones o f hi s vo i ce were pecu li ar l y sweet, and there was even in the sh r ill an d pi erc i ng soun d s w hi c h certainly ra r trsael ridiculous he uttered when at the more exalted pitch a power that thrilled the heart of the hearer. His pronunciation of our language was singularly beautiful, and his use of it pure and chaste to severity. If from the orator we turn to the man, we shall find much more to blame and to lament, whether his privatecharacter be regarded or his public; but for the defects of the former there are excuses to be offered, almost sufficient to remove the censure, and leave the feeling of regret entire and alone. The foolish indulgence of a father, from whom he inherited his talents certainly, but little principle, put him, while yet a boy, in the possession of pecuniary resources, which cannot safely be trusted to more advanced stages of youth ; and the dissipated habits of the times drew him, before the age of manhood, into the whirlpool of taslitoralnEsl,7 In the comparatively correct age in which our lot is cast, it would be almost as unjust to apply our more severe standard to him and his associates, as it would have been for the Lud lows and Hutchinsons ofthe seventeenth century, in writing a history of the Roman empire, to denounce the immora lities of Julius Caesar. Nor let it be forgotten, that the noble heart and sweet disposition of this great man, passed unscathed through an ordeal which, in almost every other and intrigue, and faction, af fections. A life of gamb lin g left the nature of Charles Fox as littl e t a inted with selfishness instance, is found to deaden all the kindl y and generous or falsehood, and his heart as little hardened, as if he bad outlived his childish y ears. lived and died in a farm-house ; or rather as if he had not GREAT POLITICAL MEETING AT NEWTOWN, WALES. (Abridged from the Shrewsbury Chronicle.) Tuesday last being the day appointed for the " Demon stration," considerable excitement prevailed in the town, not only among the body of working men, but some appre hension was entertained by the Yeomanry and their officers. Mr. Pearce, the Delegate from Birmingham, arrived,by the Mail, and shortly afterwards a proclamation was issued for the inhabitants to assemble near the Baptist Chapel, thence to proceed in procession to the " Field of Demonstration," Thither the body marched through the centre of the town, the spectators and Yeomanry being very numerous. Hustings were erected on a field over the Severn, in the parish of Llanllwchaiarn. Mr. J. Jarman, of Llanidloes, was called to the chair. Mr. Pearce then addressed the meeting ; he dwelt upon the six points of the National Petition. Mr. Pearce concluded by saying— " That by the help of Almighty God, and the support of the people, each and all of the p ro p osition s of the National Petition would be carried." The resolution for adopting the National Petition was then put and carried unanimously. Two other resolutions were passed, OR one of which John Oven, a workm an, of Newtown , addressed the meeting. The number of p ersons assembled was estim a t e d at f rom 4,000 to 5,000, and the meeting was that of a well-be 'hayed assembly ; indeed, we have heard gentlemen who have been accustomed to , witness such meetings declare, that they never beheld a more regular and orderly meet ing. After the business of the Unionists was concluded, they separated in the most quiet and peaceable manner, each returning to his habitation, a nd during the whole of the remaining part of the da y no more was visible of the districts Nunibe rs f ‘ from Demonstration," a n n s i, tr i a l e i o s, n , L " i t a h ri a f n a r i it a n h d a d t he not occurred. agricultural at tended. The National Petition has been translated into Welsh. The new filtering reservoirs of the Chelsea Company occupy a space of 45,000 square yards superficies. The filtering bottoms consist of 12,000 cubic yards of pebble, siliceous gravel, and shelly sand, and they have been constructed at an expense of 57,0001. The pipes are laid eight feet below the surface of this bottom, through which the water is filtered and cleansed before it passes into the wells from which the mains are supplied. forumndno PRIESTCRAFT._CC The priesthood in all religions formtothe caitn: it t s b c e or c r u y r , e you may sings the same anthem.

PIRAC Y O F PATTERNS.—For some considerable time the trade of Norwich has been suffering severely from a system of piracy on the part of the Scotch manufacturers, particularly those of Paisley, to which the attention of the public might be beneficially directed at the present time, with a view to procure some remedy for an abuse which has long been the cause of much serious injury to the artisans of this city, and has at the same time acted as a curb to the ingenu ity which the master manufacturer might have otherwise dis played.—Norfolk Chronicle. About a fortnight ago, a woman, named Martha Grant, who resides in Quay-street, in this town, went into a field in the neighbourhood for the purpos e of dr y in g some cloth es , and whilst engaged in spreading them u p on the ground, s h e h a d the misfortune to have her hand bitten by some venomous reptile. The hand presently began to inflame and sw e ll very much ; medical aid was procured, but, not withstanding every care and attention, the swe llin g p roceeded up th e arm, communicated itself to the chest, and the poor woman now lies in a state of dreadful agony, every moment expecting to be relieved b y death from her suffer in g s, he r re covery being impossible..

LeoNAan's.--The Royal St. Leonard's Archers had a field day on Friday last, when the splendid standard presented by the Right Bali. Joseph Planta, M. P., was hoisted. The prizes were ably clontested for. Lord Kim bolton and a very fashionable company attended. The next meeting takes place on the 27th inst., and will be the last for this season. William M'Donald and Francis Dinnin, two of the city watchmen, have been committed to gaol on the charge of having murdered John Brown about a fortnight ago. An altercation had arisen between the parties the streets at night, which ended in Br own ' s receiving a severe bodily in jury, in consequence of which he afterwards died. What degree of guilt may attach to the watchmen in this case 7 r , of cours e , cannot te ll ; b ut i t is gerLeTally well known that a while p ast some o f our c i ty watchmen h ave s t o od i n ne ed of a lesson t o t reat t h e i r pr i soners with less harshness thailonstntel: usually em p lo y in dis c h arg ing their tutional. sluty.—Aberdeen (From the Spectator.) Several documents are lying before us, the contents of which force attention to the state and prospects of the working population during the approachin g winter. First, the Revenue Tables for the quarter just ended, compared with the corresponding period of last year, ex hibit an apparent increase of 656,000/. ; but it has been explained that this sum must be reduced in consequence of large payments having been included in this year's re ceipts, which in 1837 were carried to the account of the July quarter ; and with this alteration the comparative increase in the Excise will be only 33,000/. instead of 1388,000/., and on the Revenue generally only 303,000/. But the October quarter's revenue of 1837 was miser ably deficient. There was a reduction on that quarter of 1,187,762/. ; of which only 303,000/. has been made up, notwithstanding the growth of the population ought to be felt in the constantly augmenting consumption of taxed commodities. And yet it is unquestionable that labour has been more regular and better rewarded dur ing the quarter just ended, th an at any previous period of the year, or than it is likely to he again till next spring. There is, however, a probable mode of accounting for the almost stationary amount of the Excise revenues, and for the fact of a rather busy quarter in the manufacturing dis tricts and in the metropolis, having been nearly on a par, in respect to the consumption of articles used by the mass of the people, with that of a season remarkable for a stag nation of trade. The price of bread has advanced ; and more in quantity —corresponding with the increase of numbers—bas been required to feed the labouring population. The necessary consequence has been inability to purchase the usual supplies of other articles than bread. Thus it has come to pass that the brief season, which ought to have been com paratively one of comfort and plenty to the working man, has in point of fact been a period of bard labour and need. We have passed the best part of the year. Winter, with its increased demands upon scanty means, is at hand. And this leads us to the consideration of the accounts from the manufacturing districts. They represent the state of trade as unfavourable. There are few foreign orders to be executed, and the system of " working short hours" has commenced. Reduced wages go along with shorter hours. Our private information confirms the statement in the . public papers, of the utter hopelessness of an y mate rial revival of commerce till next spring. Some rely for relief on a reduction in the price of corn ; but it is to be re marked that good corn has not fallen, and that-the averages are calculated upon returns from remote markets, as well as from the sales of wheat in London, Wakefield, and Glasgow. Moreover, well-informed persons are now pretty much agreed on the fact, that both at home and abroad the crops are deficient. The great holders are certainly of that opinion, and anticipate :a considerable rise of price during the winter. It is also remarked that much sickness has already been occasioned by the bad quality of old bonded as well as the new wheat. That we must be prepared for an _unusual amount of distress among the labouring population for not a short pe riod, is manifest from the facts stated ; and the next ques tion which occurs is—how is it to be met and relieved ? The great resource will of course be the Poor-rates ; and a reference to the Fourth Report of the Poor-law Commis sioners, delivered within these few days, satisfies us that the new law will require to be considerably relaxed to meet the exigency of the time. It appears that, in distressed manufacturing districts, the workhouse system cannot be enforced, and out of door relief must be permitted. Last year, the Guardians of the Nottingham Union were formally instructed, that " the rule which prohibited them from giving relief to able-bodied male persons, excepting in the workhouse, should be suspended, whenever they should find the pressure such as that, in their opinion, there existed a necessity for so doing." And that necessity came, although a voluntary subscription of 4,000/. was raised in Nottingham and the neighbourhood, and out-of door relief was actually administered to a large amount. Within the present year, the Poor-law has been extensively introduced into the manufacturing districts ; and it is almost certain that a similar relaxation of the workhouse system must be made in those districts. That law is calculated admirably, no doubt, for prosperous seasons ; but when tested severely and thoroughly, in times of difficulty and dear bread, as at Nottingham, it fails in a most essential part. These considerations should make the predominant landed interest pause. They are now, indeed, the only " prosperous gentlemen." The reduction of the poor-rates 'since 1834 amounts to 2,300,0001. ; of which they have clutched the lion's share. Millions have been paid them during the same period for land tax at an enormous price, virtually fixed by themselves in a Legislature of jobbers, for railroads ; and they have had a constantly increasing revenue from their estates; for rents depend generally upon the price of corn ; even where there are leases, the corn rent system is very common. But, thanks to their Corn laws, there is a prospect of an increase in the poor-rates, which will doubtless fall in the first instance on the occu piers, but which must soon touch the lords of the soil. There will he something like retributive justice in this ope ration even of " the Devu - s taws.- If there is truth in the statements given of the actual condition and near prospects of the great bulk of the popu lation, surely something should be done by the Government and Legislature to meet the present and coming evils. It is of course too late this year to think of obtaining any material augmentation of the supply of corn. The duty is now at 20s. Bd. a quarter ; so that if there were any largo quantity in the Continental ports, the Corn-laws would prevent its importation. The fall of the averages is chiefly caused, as we have before explained, by the reduced price accepted for bad wheat, and does not indicate a good sup ply ; but there is no corn to be had on the Continent, even though the duty should again fall to a shilling. The chief difficulty and danger will be caused by want of em ployment to the swarms of operatives in the Northern and Midland counties ; and would not this be partially obviated by an assurance that next y ear an d a f terwards, the impor tation of wheat in payment of merchandise would be per mitted? The manufacturers might then be induced to work fur stock. They would be sure of a market enlarged to some extent, and the year after that a further extension might be reckoned upon. This suggestion may be said with truth to be the best drat has been made ; for we really believe it has been the ony one. Every body is talking and thinking about what is to b: come of the people next winter ; but we are not aware that any plan has been proposed to meet the pressing dif ficulty. Without some such resource as we have indicated, there must be a serious conflict for the maintenance notonly of the Corn-law, but of that sheet-anchor, as it has been ormed, the Poor-law Act. GARDENING OPERATIONS FOR THE WEEK. (From the Gardeners' Gazette.) B ar k bed s g ,-bould be supplied with fresh tan, either in part or altogether ; in part, let it be well mixed up with the old. While we write, Dahlias are in splendid order all around us, but frosts have cat them off in some places ; those in the ground should be earthed up well round the crowns, for, when the cold comes, it will ,he sharp enough to run down the stems. A first crop of Peas .may be sown where they will be pro tected from the north and east winds ; if they are not cut off they will give a picking in May, and, if they are. there is but little loss. Early frame, or the earliest of the Hotspurs, will do best; there have been some new sorts well adapted. Groom's Dwarf Pea is very good, and stands a little cold better than some others. . Endive may be blanched as it comes forward, just as fast as it is wanted for use ; either tie it up or lay a tile upon it flat, taking, of course, the forwardest plants. For winter use, plant some strong plants on a sloping bank facing the south, this keeps the wet from it. Trim and dress the herb beds by cutting down all the old flower stems, clearing away all weeds, stirring the earth between the rows, and put a dressing of rotten dung, which, if properly decomposed, will not be unsightly, and will wash in with the rains. Take care that no wet reaches the Carnation and Auriculas in their winter quarters ; let them have as much air as possible when the weather will permit, but they will be better kept free from frost, though a slight one is not very injurious ; damp is ruinous, whether from over-watering or arising from the bottom in which they are placed. Propagate by taking off suckers from all ornamental plants on their own bottoms; Roses, Pyrus Japonicas, and many others give out suckers freely—these may be taken off with a small portion of root, and planted in nursery rows. Cut down Asparagus, haulm, weed, and dry the beds with a good layer of dung. two or three inches thick ; loosen the sur face a little to enable it the better to enter with the ra ins ; clear out the alleys, spreading the stuff evenly over the beds, which should be made up straight on the edges. Continue to plant out from the seed-bed the strongest Cab bage Plants of the early kind, as they become soon_ enough. Earth up Celery as the growth of it requires and dry weather permits. Continue other operations as before, s o long as the weather continues open. --..----------2... HOP INTELLIGENCE. --WO R CESTER, OCT, 1 9 . --The greater part o f t h e new fleys in our market on Saturday last being of very inferior de?cription, few were induced t y make purchases, and as the prices asked were much abov London market, only 84 pockets of the best qualities of l e ne t w e , and 49 old, were sold. It is a great sacrifice to the p enters w h en , growing not more than 1-9th of last year's this year, crop (4,000/. duty),.to sell at such ruinous prices, but the buyers seem disposed to give little preference to Worcesters, unless they come of equal quality with Sussex, and at the same cur rency, which will reduce them 13per cent. from the prices of last week. Yearlin g s have the chief demand, from their su perior quality, and are likely to keep up in price. Present prices, p e r cwt. : —new \Vorcesters, 80s. to 955. ; fine, 105 s.
